Answer:
b. Coefficient of variation; beta
Explanation:
In the case when the single asset would be held in isolation so here the best measure would be coefficient of variation
And, on the other hand the asset that held in diversified portfolio so here the beta would be considered as a best measure of risk
Also the asset held in diversified portfolio would be less risky as compared with the similar asset held in isolation
On January 1, 2018, Ann Stine loaned $37,565 to Joe Grant. A zero-interest-bearing note (face amount, $50,000) was exchanged solely for cash. The note is to be repaid on December 31, 2020. The prevailing rate of interest for a loan of this type is 10%. The present value of $50,000 at 10% for three years is $37,565. What amount of the Discounts on Notes Payable should Mr. Grant credit in 2018?
Answer: $3,756.50
Explanation:
The Discount on Note Payable is used to record the interest charge on a note that is already included in the maturity value of the note. It is based on the present value of the loan and the prevailing interest rate.
= Present value of the loan for three years * Prevailing interest rate
= 37,565 * 10%
= $3,756.50

Ringmeup Inc. had net income of $129,300 for the year ended December 31, 2019. At the beginning of the year, 37,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. On May 1, an additional 15,000 shares were issued. On December 1, the company purchased 4,100 shares of its own common stock and held them as treasury stock until the end of the year. No other changes in common shares outstanding occurred during the year. During the year, Ringmeup paid the annual dividend on the 6,000 shares of 4.95%, $100 par value preferred stock that were outstanding the entire year. Required: Calculate basic earnings per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2019. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
$2.13 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the basic earnings per share is shown below:
But before that following calculations need to be done
The Weighted average share is
= (37000 shares × 4 ÷ 12 + (37,000 + 15,000) shares × 7 ÷ 12 + (52,000 - 4,100) shares × 1 ÷ 12)
= 46,658 Shares
And, the Preferred dividend is
= 6,000 shares × $100 × 4.95%
= $29,700
Now EPS is
= (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ Weighted average share outstanding = ($129,300 - $29,700) ÷ 46,658
= $2.13 per share

About 10 years ago, the POM Pomegranate Juice brand was created by a middle-aged couple in Nebraska. Theyâre business started small and then began to skyrocket after news spread of how yummy pomegranate juice is and also, how healthy is it (more antioxidants than any other juice out there!) Now, brands such as Nantucket Nectars, Ocean Spray, Minute Maid, and more have created their own pomegranate mixtures.
Required:
What has happened to the supply of pomegranate beverages as a result?
Answer:
OM Pomegranate Juice
The supply of pomegranate beverages has risen above demand, thereby causing market glut.
Explanation:
With many suppliers of pomegranate beverages, the quantity being supplied will outstrip demand. The immediate result is a glut in the market. This will lead to producing at less than full capacity as individual producers make efforts to sell their inventories. Workers may need to be laid off in order to meet the resulting economic situation.

Read this description and then make a list of expected business benefits that the company might derive from a new system: Especially for You Jewelers is a small jewelry company in a college town. Over the last couple of years, it has experienced a tremendous increase in its business. However, its financial performance hasn’t kept pace with its growth. The current system, which is partly manual and partly automated, doesn’t track accounts receivables sufficiently, and the company is finding it difficult to determine why the receivables are so high. It runs frequent specials to attract customers, but it has no idea whether these are profitable.
Answer:
The business benefits that the company might derive from a new system that is fully automated are:
1. The new system will sufficiently track accounts receivables.
2. The new system will determine when and why the receivables are so high.
3. The new system will be able to clarify if the frequent specials that it runs are profitable or not.
Explanation:
A new and improved system of accounting provides many advantages to the business. It provides timely reconciliation of accounts. It makes it easier to settle bills and ensures that bills are not duplicated. It features access controls, report formats suitable for each business unit and organization, and improves data reliability, among others.
Suppose that you wish to hedge the exchange rate risk on a foreign receivable of 1,240,000 euros. You decide to do this with a long option whose underlying asset is the euro (I won't tell you whether it's a put or a call). If this option has a strike of $1.15/euro, a multiple of 10,000 euros, and a per-contract (i.e. per 10k euros) premium of $175, then what is the least number of dollars you could possibly expect to net from this hedged receivable
Answer: $1404300
Explanation:
The least number of dollars that one could possibly expect to net from this hedged receivable will be calculated thus:
Amount receivable = 1,240,000 euros
Contract size for put option = 10000
Therefore, the number of contract that can be purchased will be:
= 1240000 / 10000
= 124
The total cost of option will be:
= $175 × 124
= $21700
We then calculate the minimum dollars available which will be:
= 1240000 × 1.15
= $1426000
We then deduct the total cost of option to get the net dollar proceed which will be:
= $1426000 - $21700
= $1404300
Therefore, the the least number of dollars that is expected to net from this hedged receivable is $1404300.

Explanation:
Kartman Corporation makes a product with the following standard costs: Standard Quantity or HoursStandard Price or RateStandard Cost Per Unit Direct materials 6.5pounds$7.00per pound$45.50 Direct labor 0.6hours$24.00per hour$14.40 Variable overhead 0.6hours$4.00per hour$2.40 In June the company's budgeted production was 3,400 units but the actual production was 3,500 units. The company used 22,150 pounds of the direct material and 2,290 direct labor-hours to produce this output. During the month, the company purchased 25,400 pounds of the direct material at a cost of $170,180. The actual direct labor cost was $57,021 and the actual variable overhead cost was $8,931. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The variable overhead rate variance for June is: Select one: A. $210 F B. $229 U C. $210 U D. $229 F
Answer:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $229 favorable
Explanation:
eGiving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.6 hours $4.00per hour
The company used 2,290 direct labor-hours
The actual variable overhead cost was $8,931.
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= (4 - 3.9)*2,290
Variable manufacturing overhead rate variance= $229 favorable
Actual rate= 8,931 / 2,290= $3.9
MSI is considering outsourcing the production of the handheld control module used with some of its products. The company has received a bid from Monte Legend Co. (MLC) to produce 10,000 units of the module per year for $16 each. The following information pertains to MSI’s production of the control modules:
Direct materials $9
Direct labor $4
Variable manufacturing overhead $2
Fixed manufacturing overhead $3
Total cost per unit $18
MSI has determined that it could eliminate all variable costs if the control modules were produced externally, but none of the fixed overhead is avoidable. At this time, MSI has no specific use in mind for the space that is currently dedicated to the control module production.
Compute the difference in cost between making and buying the control module.
Answer:
If the company makes the units in-house, it will save $10,000.
Explanation:
The fixed costs will remain in both options. Therefore, the fixed costs are irrelevant to the decision-making process.
Buy:
Total cost= 10,000*16= $160,000
Make in house:
Total cost= 10,000*(9 + 4 + 2)= $150,000
If the company makes the units in-house, it will save $10,000.
Hogan Industries had the following inventory transactions occur during 2017: Units Cost/unit Feb. 1, 2017 Purchase 108 $45 Mar. 14, 2017 Purchase 186 $47 May 1, 2017 Purchase 132 $49 The company sold 306 units at $63 each and has a tax rate of 30%. Assuming that a periodic inventory system is used, and operating expenses of $1800, what is the company's after-tax income using LIFO
Answer: $1,982.40
Explanation:
The company's after-tax income using LIFO will be:
Sales = 306 × $63 = $19,278
Less: Cost of Goods Sold
132 × $49 = $6,468
174 × $47 = $8,178
Coat if goods sold = $14,646
Gross Profit = $19,278 - $14,646 = $4,632
Less: Operating Expense = $1,800
Income Before Tax = $2,832
Less: Tax = 30% × $2832 = $849.60
Income after Tax = $1,982.40

Nancy's Notions pays a delivery firm to distribute its products in the metro area. Delivery costs are $30,000 per year. Nancy can buy a used truck for $11,000 that will be adequate for the next 3 years. Operating and maintenance costs are estimated to be $23,000 per year. At the end of 3 years, the used truck will have an estimated salvage value of $3,000. Nancy's MARR is 24%/year. a. What is this investment's internal rate of return
Answer: 45.92%
Explanation:
Annual Cash Inflows = (Net Savings - Depreciation) * ( 1 - Tax Rate) + (Depreciation * Tax Rate)
Net savings = Delivery Costs - Operating and Maintenance Costs with the Used Truck
= 30,000 - 23,000
= $7,000
Depreciation = (Cost of used truck - Salvage value) / Useful life
= (11,000 - 3,000) / 3
= $2,667
Annual Cash inflows = $7,000 as there are no taxes.
Use Excel to calculate IRR as shown in the attachment.
The cost of the truck is the outflow and the savings and the salvage value are inflows.
IRR = 45.92%
To save money for his daughter's college tuition, Dan invests every quarter in an annuity that pays interest, compounded quarterly. Payments will be made at the end of each quarter. Find the total value of the annuity in years.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
To save money for his daughter's college tuition, Dan invests $269 every quarter in an annuity that pays 6.9% interest, compounded quarterly. Payments will be made at the end of each quarter. Find the total value of the annuity in 20 years.
Solution :
Given :
Annuity = $ 269
Compounded quarterly for 20 years, so N = 4 x 20 = 80
Rate of interest = [tex]$\frac{6.90 \%}{4}$[/tex]
= 1.725 %
We know Future value of the annuity is given by :
[tex]$FV= \text{Annuity} \times \frac{(1+R)^{N-1}}{R}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV= \text{269} \times \frac{(1+1.725\%)^{80-1}}{1.725\%}$[/tex]
[tex]$=269 \times 169.762413$[/tex]
= 45666.09
So the total value of he annuity is $45,666.09
The Reynolds Company buys from its suppliers on terms of 4/10, net 64. Reynolds has not been utilizing the discount offered and has
been taking 76 days to pay its bills. The suppliers seem to accept this payment pattern, and Reynold's credit rating has not been hurt.
Mr. Duke, Reynolds Company's vice-president, has suggested that the company begin to take the discount offered. Mr. Duke proposes
the company borrow from its bank at a stated rate of 18 percent. The bank requires a 12 percent compensating balance on these
loans. Current account balances would not be available to meet any of this required compensating balance.
Calculate the cost of not taking a cash discount. (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round the final
answer to 2 decimal places.)
Cost of not taking a cash discount
Answer: 23.04%
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the cost of not taking a cash discount will be calculated as:
= D/(1-D) × (360/n)
where D = Discount rate
n = number of days after the discounted period
= D/(1-D) × (360/n)
= 4%/(1 - 4%) × [365/(76-10)]
= 4%/96% × (365/66)
= 0.0416667 × 5.530303
= 0.2304295
= 23.04%

Answer:
11.63%
Explanation:
Average assets = [Total assets 12/31/21 + Total assets 12/31/22] / 2
Average assets = [$1085 + $1150] / 2
Average assets = $2,235 / 2
Average assets = $1,117.50
Return on Assets = Net income / Average assets
Return on Assets = $130 / $1,117.50
Return on Assets = 0.1163311
Return on Assets = 11.63%
So therefore, Sandhill's return on assets for 2022 is 11.63%.

Janet's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Miami that sells gluten-free pizzas. Janet's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Janet signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Janet's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Janet cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run.
However, Janet's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Janet lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are (Variable/Fixed) inputs, and the ovens are (Fixed/Variable) inputs.

The national lottery in the country of San Dayana is advertising on billboards in the poverty stricken, inner-cities of the country. "Buy your way out of here to America" Buy the 5 for 1 lottery tickets every Friday." Would you consider this an ethical marketing strategy? Why/Why not?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Would you consider this an ethical marketing strategy?
No. Of course not. It is not ethical. However, it is not illegal.
It cannot be considered ethical because this piece of advertisement is playing with the lack and necessity of the poor people of San Dayana.
The lottery advertisement is trying to be lucrative and benefit from the ignorance and poverty of the people of this poor country.
Once said that people are the ones who had the last word on the decision to buy or not to buy the lottery tickets. They know that the probabilities are minimum to win the big prize.
So instead of work, save and invest, or do other legal things to prosper, they prefer to spend their hard-earn money to get the "miracle" and become rich.
Suppose the end of 2013 is approaching and most of the activity for the year has been entered into the accounts of Hipzone Inc. However, there are a few transactions that still need to be posted.
List the journal entries required
Suppose on December 31, Hipzone Inc. bills one of their customers $450 for a project that they had completed which had accumulated $220 of costs. The invoice has the normal terms requesting payment in 30 days. Make ALL of the entries required by this transaction.
HINT: Think of Accumulated Project Costs as an account similar to Inventory - it is an asset account used to accumulate the costs that have been incurred related to the project being completed for the customer.
THEN Hipzone Inc. needs to record depreciation on a piece of office equipment. The equipment was purchased on 1/1/2010 for $2,000, was expected to last 10 years at the time of purchase, and had an expected salvage value of $200.
